Fraud can happen to anyone, anywhere.

Your best defense is knowledge.

Scammers use various ways to trick you into letting them steal your personal information and then they use it for illegal purposes. They do this by impersonating legitimate companies and then creating urgency to pressure their victims to give them the information they want so they can access your existing accounts and conduct unauthorized transactions, or use your identity to or create new accounts.
